Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 I think that if you still feel like you are pregnant after had a cycle that you should call your primary care physician and ask for a blood test, that will surely pick up the HCG if it's there.

Guest guest Posted January 7, 2004 Report Share Posted January 7, 2004 Sounds like you may not be pregnant this month. I say go get the test at the DR office if it will make you feel better to know for sure from a professional. I will be praying for you and sending baby dust your way as we are also TTC.
